Most other types of cells have the ability to replace damaged molecules and organelles. Red blood cells have a reduced capacity for repair and thus only survive for about four months. Construct an explanation based on the structure of red blood cells for why red blood cells are unable to repair damaged proteins.

The red blood cells do not repair by themselves, that is why they must be destroyed in the spleen or rather phagocytosed, so that they are then newly formed in the spleen.

Red blood cells are unable to repair protein damage since one of these infleunctions is their anucleation.

Explanation:

The clearance of red blood cells is essential since the half-life of this cell is a few months, once these months have passed the red blood cell will not fulfill the function in the same way.

They are characterized by having a tetrahedral protein that is related to gases such as oxygen according to its partial pressures.

This protein called hemoglobin is responsible for transporting oxygen to the tissues and oxygenate them.
